Access denied in powerschell script for Add SPSolution

Question

I have a Windows Server 2012 Standard, named DC. This server is a Domain Controller. I have Sharepoint 2013.

The domain is DEVRSG.COM. I log on in DC machine using DEVRSG\Administrator, is Domain Administrator.

The user for execute powershell that I use is DEVRSG\svcwss.

The user DEVRSG\svcwss:

belongs to WSS_ADMIN_WPG group
belongs to Administrators group (devrsg.com/Builtin)
belongs to Active Directory - Domain Users
is a Farm Administrator
is SPShellAdmin (I use command Get-SPShellAdmin)
has permissions on Sharepoint_Config and Sharepoint_AdminContent_{GUID} databases.

Note:
I try add the user to the local administrator group but the server is Domain Controller. Thuan Nguyen SharePoint MVP @nnthuan says "You CAN'T create a local account on the domain controller."

Run the Sharepoint 2013 Management Shell as the user DEVRSG\svcwss.

I try to execute a powershell script for deploy a WSP (Add SPSolution, features, etc).

I get "Access denied." error

any suggestions?

Have you tried to open and run management shell as administrator? ( Right click, 'Run as Administrator' ) — Christoffer, Jul 07 '14 at 12:44
What about the farm admin account which run the Timer Services, did you try to install with that account. check this one http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/7996/sharepoint-2010-powershell-add-spsolution-access-denied?rq=1 — Waqas Sarwar MVP, Jul 07 '14 at 14:59

as user19952 noted, run powershell as admin.

Problem:

Your running an admin level task, the user DEVRSG\svcwss your user doesn't have the sufficient levels to run the dll for Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.

solution:

click start -> click all programmes -> click Microsoft sharepoint 2013 products -> right click sharepoint 2013 management shell -> run as admin.

or win 8 style:

hover top right -> click search button and search for sharepoint 2013 management shell -> click sharepoint 2013 management shell -> bottom screen menu click on run as admin.
